Germany’s decades-long economic relationship with China is being reshaped by intensifying competition. Chinese companies are increasingly challenging German manufacturers in cars, machinery, chemicals and electrical equipment — both in Europe and global markets. German exports to China fell around 13% in the first seven months of the year, while imports from China increased. DW’s Daniel Winter explains why Germany is particularly exposed, how pressures on Mercedes and Volkswagen reflect the wider industrial challenge, and why Berlin and Brussels are focusing on “de-risking” rather than cutting economic ties with Beijing.#germanynews #mercedes #germanyindustry #worldnews #germanychina
